Unnecessary. I was the one talking with him and I had no issues 

eh, I don't suffer fools.

After watching the first half of the WKU game, the O reminds me too much of Gus’ O, in that there is too much dependence on explosive plays.  I want a consistent chain-mover.  I have spoken, and this is the way.

I really would like to go after Ludwig at Utah.

Sometimes it helps to add a little bit more context or analysis when trying to analyze something as complex as evaluating the merits or ability of a play caller or offense.

For example; Arizona State was plagued by turnovers this season. They ranked 116th in fumbles lost per-game. They ranked 95th nationally in total giveaways-per-game. They ranked 120th in plays-per-game.

However, they ranked 21st nationally in offensive yards-per-play. They ranked 31st in 3rd down conversion percentage. They ranked 33rd in in 4th down conversion percentage. They ranked 37th in "points-per-play".

What this means is that they didn't have a problem moving the ball or converting pivotal downs. What they had a problem with was giving the ball away. Turnovers mean that you get to run less plays, which means that your "yards per game" take a hit, as does your "points per game".

An penalties. I watched a lot of their games and the number of penalties esp. off sides just killed drives. Sometimes they'd get 2 - 3 back to back. They lacked disciple. I put that on Herm. He would show zero emotion...just continued to write in his little notebook every time they'd pick up a penalty. Playcalling was good. I liked how they used the TEs.

Really great guy! 

He could recruit within a 150 mile radius and have one of the top G5 teams every year.

In a vacuum, so could we in the P5 with the North Atlanta area.

UTSA just threw a fade for a TD.

 

I'm a little jelly, ngl.

Linked article contrasts WKUs offensive production in 2020 before Kittley and in 2021 with Kittley as OC.   Quite impressive, but a very different scheme than Harsin has ever run.

Non OC related but if something happens to Harsin Oregon may pay Auburn to take Cristobal off their hands.

Have you looked at his career?  Step down from Bobo. Similar coach. Been an OC forever. Only had one top 20 offense as far back as I had time to look  (since ‘03)…. Huge pass on that one

[AURealist 2,185]

On the upside, by game's end, we might get a better price on a used Kittley off the scratch and dent rack.

Maybe we should be going after UTSA's OC Barry Lunney, Jr.

Guy has 7 years of SEC experience at Arkansas, albeit under Bert and Chad.

Yeah.  We kinda mentioned that earlier.   Thing is, he doesn't have a lot of OC experience.  But he does love TEs, which I like a lot.

I don't understand the idea of hiring Traylor.  Didn't we fire a high school coach?

I was only thinking Traylor in comparison to Harsin.  If my choice had been between those two, I might have given Traylor a look.  Certainly Texas recruiting would be better.

Hes not the head coach and has nothing to do with the defense

Agree. Not everything can fall on the OC if the D can’t stop people. With that being said, we took an overrated Bama team to the brink w a backup QB and very shotty play calling. Honestly, give me Kittley, a healthy tank and jarquez, 2 more talented O linemen and one number 1 receiver, I think this team wins 4 more games next year. Now, is Nix the answer for another season with a 60% completion rate, or does this new guy Gernier come in and blow he and Finley away? I for one think DD is more of a J Franklin III than a top tier QB for the SEC. JMO.

It’s obvious that tonight Kittrey’s mind is on the Auburn job…🤣

I hope so.  I'm switching back to watch that game.  Utah is in control.

Yeah…only 400 yards passing and 26 points in 3 quarters with 2 missed fgs in a championship game against an 11-1 team…They are really “sucking it up” 😂

[gr82b4au 5,568]

Kittley
According to one of the insiders on another site, he is going to be going to Texas Tech as the OC.

Well, I must say it's very big of you to admit it.

Big surprise there, since that's where he's from.  Personally, I never saw it coming.

That's what scares me about Kittley. Can Bo and our receivers improve enough to get that completion percentage up. Because 60% doesn't cut it now, and it especially won't if we're running some version of an air raid

“Insiders” 😂.   I don’t doubt that’s his preferred job (actually may be his dream job) but “insiders” haven’t gotten a darn thing right around here in weeks
